First aid measures 4.1. Description of first aid measures After Inhalation If inhaled, remove to fresh air. If not breathing give artificial respiration. Call a physician. After skin contact In case of skin contact, wash with soap and flush with copious amounts of water for at least 15 minutes. Remove contaminated clothing and shoes. Call a physician. After eye contact In case of contact with eyes, flush with copious amounts of water for at least 15 minutes. Assure adequate flushing by separating the eyelids with fingers. Call a physician. After Ingestion If swallowed, wash out mouth with water. Call a physician. 4.2. Most important symptoms and effects, both acute and delayed The most important known symptoms and effects are described in section 11. 4.3. Indication of any immediate medical attention and special treatment needed 5. Fire fighting 5.1. Extinguishing media Suitable extinguishing media: Dry chemical, alcohol-resistant foam, carbon dioxide or water spray. Consult with local fire authorities before attempting large scale fire-fighting operations. 5.2. Special hazards arising from the substance of mixture Hazardous combustion products: Carbon oxides 5.3. Advice for firefighters Wear a self-contained breathing apparatus if necessary. During a fire, irritating and highly toxic gases and vapours may be generated by thermal decomposition. 6. Accidental release measures 6.1. Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures Wear personal protective equipment (section 8). Avoid dust formation. Ensure room is well ventilated. Remove all sources of ignition. MSDS for Double-walled carbon nanotubes (M2016) Page 2 of 6
6.2. Environmental precautions Do not let product enter drains. 6.3. Containment and cleaning Contain and clean up spill if safe to do so using an electrically protected vacuum cleaner or by wet-brushing. Dispose of dry waste in closed container for proper disposal according to local regulations. 7. Handling and storage 7.1. Precautions for safe handling Avoid formation of dust and aerosols. Keep away from sources of ignition and avoid the build up of electrostatic charge. Provide exhaust ventilation in places where dust is formed. 7.2. Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities Store in a cool, dry and well-ventilated place inside of a tightly sealed container. Reseal containers that have been opened and keep upright to prevent leakage. 7.3. Specific end uses Use in laboratories. 8. Exposure controls / Personal protection 8.1. Control parameters Components with workplace control parameters Contains no substances with occupational exposure limit values. 8.2. Exposure controls Engineering measures Handle in accordance with good industrial engineering/laboratory practices for hygiene and safety. Ensure eyewash stations and safety showers are close to the laboratory workstation. Ensure good general ventilation is present when handling the product. Personal protective equipment Eyes: Wear safety glasses with side-shields conforming to appropriate government standards such as NOISH (US) or EN166 (EU). Skin: Handle with appropriate gloves and use proper glove removal technique to avoid skin contact. Dispose of gloves in accordance with applicable laws. Wash and dry hands. The selected protective gloves have to satisfy the specifications of EU Directive 89/686/EEC and the standard EN 374 derived from it. Clothing: Wear complete suit protecting against chemicals; the type of equipment should be appropriate for the concentration and amount of dangerous substance used. Respirators: Where protection from nuisance dusts is needed, use type N95 (US) or type P1 (EN 143) dust masks. Use multi-purpose combination (US) or type ABEK (EN 14387) respirator cartridges as a backup to engineering controls. Respirators should be approved under appropriate government standards such as NIOSH (US) or CEN (EU). General hygiene measures Wash thoroughly after handling. Wash contaminated clothing before reuse.
